Trust in the LORD, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.”
(Psalms 7:1-2)

Your ancestor King David wrote this song to You, Jesus

concerning Cush the Benjamite
who was falsely accusing him.

David was crying out to You for protection –

as do I, LORD!

You’re my only hope

against the immense harm of false accusations.

Pray this Lazaroo with a learning heart:

“King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord and was beside the altar. Then Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, ‘Go, strike him down!’”
(1 Kings 2:29)

Joab was a powerful man, Jesus – the head of Israel’s army.

Solomon’s father David had tried to remove him, to no avail.
So he counseled his son Solomon to do it.

How did Solomon succeed when his father couldn’t?

You. Only You.
It was Your time.

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant expectation:

“Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay.”
(Acts 2:26-27)

Those words of David were fulfilled in You, Jesus!

You were unjustly crucified to pay for the sins of all who believe
then rose from the dead on the third day!

And because You live forever

so will I!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“David said about him: ‘‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’”
(Acts 2:25)

Next time I’m in a fight for my goals, my relationships, my very life

I’m imagining You there at my right hand, Jesus.

Except it’s not my imagination.

It‘s real.
You’ll actually be there.

Let me rephrase that:

You’re here.
At my right hand.

Now.

David is right:

I will not be shaken!

Friday, December 20, 2019

 

Decide to trust, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:19)

Solomon is talking about his successor, Jesus.

Just as he succeeded King David
he knew that one day someone would succeed him.

You gave Solomon unprecedented wisdom

so that’s what he valued.

Would the one who succeeded him be as wise?

No. Not even close.

But so what?

The last thing this world needs

is someone like Solomon who refuses to use
the gifts You give them.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of gratitude:

“…founded a dynasty for me…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

It’s true, Jesus!

That’s what You did for David.

You founded a dynasty for him
that led to You.

But praise God!

The dynasty didn’t end with You!

The whole point of what You did for David

and what You did on the cross

was to establish a dynasty
for countless millions who would believe in You.

So when You founded that dynasty for David

You were also founding it for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in head-shaking amazement:

“Why have I found such favor in your eyes…?”
(Ruth 2:10)

How refreshing is that, Jesus?

In this day of people pounding their chests, swaggering –

I’m so used to hearing:

“It’s about time!”
“I’m the best there is!”
“Check me out!”

But here’s Ruth, so unassuming

that when someone does something nice for her
she’s stunned, not comprehending –

the exact opposite of an attitude of entitlement.

No wonder You selected her to become

one of Your many-times-removed great grandmothers.

Pray this Lazaroo with a bucketful of gratitude:

“…we are God’s workmanship…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

O Jesus!

How can I ever complain about what I am?
I’m Your invention, Your craftsmanship!

Or is that craftsGodship?! 😉

David said it first:

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
Please forgive me for those times when I forget that.

Now, I beg You:

Show me why You’ve made me like this!
Reveal to me Your highest purpose

and enable me to fulfill it
to Your eternal glory.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“Remember Jesus Christ…descended from David.”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

This is kind of a big deal, Jesus.

1,859 years before You were born, Your ancestor Jacob prophesied over his son Judah:

“The scepter will not depart from Judah
…until he to whom it belongs shall come
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.”

Jacob to Judah to King David

…all the way to You.

This isn’t “kind of” a big deal, is it?

It is a big deal.

Pray this Lazaroo in sensitive awareness:

“‘I have one small request to make of you,’ she said.”
(1 Kings 2:20)

Bathsheba is right, Jesus.

The request she is about to make of her son Solomon is small.
With a word, he can easily grant it.

There’s only one problem:

If he does what his mother is asking
the consequences will be catastrophic.

What a reminder!

Just because a thing is easy to do

doesn’t make it right
doesn’t mean You want me to do it.
